Today, it encompasses a broad array of technologies, including M-Mode, 2D, Doppler (pulsed, continuous, color, and tissue), and lung ultrasound, applied across a full spectrum of patients—from elite athletes to those with end-stage heart failure, and from pediatric congenital cases to the elderly with valvular disease.
